1967 Sears Spyder 5-speed 20"

[CRASH]

I had one, and let it go. Found this one, which is in much better shape, and worked deals between a couple friends to span the distance to get it. I haven't verified 1967 other than catalogs, but I hope to. (It may be a '68). Other than a couple of minor paint issues, and tire issues, it looks like it just rolled out of the store. The seat looks like it's never been riden! My immediate plans are to just hold on to it. I'm most likely going to do a complete tear down, detail, overhaul, and rebuild.

Wow that is gorgeous! Coppertone and a tiger seat. Two of my favorite things. Awesome Score! 8)

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Score!

That's quite the find, very clean :wink:

Sick score! I have the 24" version. But it is in shambles.

 

[sleepy]

Whoa, that is beautiful! 8)

Excellent find!

 

[rfeagleye]

Wow.

That's all I have for that one. Good buy there.

 

[Rat Rod]

Quite a beauty!

 

[CRASH]

Sick score! I have the 24" version. But it is in shambles.

I also have a 24" version that is going to take a ton of work and money to get almost as nice as this one.

 

[rfeagleye]

Keep the 24" for a rider...

And keep this one for display. I would never get rid of it, this one is a show piece. You will NEVER get another this nice, it is the definition of a keeper!

One more thing...

Those pedals don't look like they are the originals. I think those XL's were used in the 70's because that clear part is reflective?

Anyway, if you know what the originals look like let me know, maybe I can help.

 

[rfeagleye]

Ok, one last last thing...

Looks like you have a 1967:

I have a set of those pedals for my 24". Maybe I should put them on. I like the orange with it though... looks good! :lol:

 

[rfeagleye]

Yeah, these pedals do look great on it...

The orange is great with that bike. That thing is way cool!

 

[Jaxon]

What a great looking bike!! You got a killer score on that one.

I had a bike just like this when my parents were still alive. When they died in 68 my uncle made me get rid of it because I moved in to a high rise apartment. I was really mad. My uncle told me that he would get me a better bike later when he bought a house and he did. He got me a Japanese steel lugged banana seat bike with 20in wheels and a five speed shifter on the top tube

 

[CRASH]

I don't know if that qualifies as "better". This Spyder was a gorgeous bike. I'm a little bummed I sold it, but it needed to move and went to a good home.
